This document discusses the evolution of the web from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, with Web 2.0 focusing on user participation through things like mashups and folksonomies, and Web 3.0 aiming to develop a global, semantically linked database through open standards and metadata. The semantic web of Web 3.0 could benefit librarians by allowing for improved findability, indexing, and classification of resources through ontologies and taxonomies.

Findability
Cho & Giustini, 2007 - ‘The semantic

“What Happens in the Web, Stays in
the Web.”
9. Why the SemWeb & web 3.0 might be of interest

Katherine Adams’ article in 2002 had argued that librarians should be taking the charge with the skills that we have.
Amazon.com’s online bookstore model became a catalyst for bookstores to “open” up their catalogues for all to see.
